The Vineyard

The "La Rad" plot offers a Tempranillo of great identity. The clay-limestone soil with gravel favors drainage and mineral tension, while the age of the vineyard provides natural concentration and balance.

Tasting Notes

Bright red color with medium-high intensity. On the nose, ripe red and black fruits appear, accompanied by spicy notes and a mineral background reminiscent of limestone.

On the palate, it is structured but fine, with polished tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is elegant and deep, with a long aftertaste that leaves a fresh and harmonious sensation.

Food Pairing

Ideal with roasted meats, small game dishes, traditional stews, and seasonal cuisine.

An old-vine Rioja that combines character and precision. Made with minimal intervention to faithfully reflect the plot and the personality of Tempranillo in Rioja Alta.
